This upgrade was the QRAC’s first since second-hand Nautilus equipment was installed in the 1970s, according to Jeremy L. Gibson, who also works for Office of Physical Resources and Planning and was on hand for yesterday’s opening...
...demands "complete, verifiable and irreversible" dismantlement of North Korea's nuclear program before it will discuss any thaw in bilateral relations. But time is on North Korea's side: while talks drag on, it can quietly continue developing nuclear weapons. Says Peter Hayes, a North Korea expert at the Nautilus Institute, a California think tank: "The longer we wait, the higher the price we have to pay to buy them out."

SPECIAL DELIVERY Love is war for the male paper nautilus, whose idea of sex is to heave his manhood--and his genes--like a tiny torpedo into the female. Once implanted, the male organ serves as a built-in sperm bank. Similarly, the male anglerfish burrows into the belly of its much bigger mate and becomes a permanent, parasitic testicle.
